Grammar

passive voice

Hi
I have a doubt with the verb listen with regard to passive voice.

I think listen is an intransitive verb But I think I hear this spoken:

The song is being listened to.
Please tell me if this is grammatical.

vsuresh,
In natural English, it is good English if one says " I have a question about...". But it is not idiomatic and natural to say " I have a doubt...". You can say though, " I have doubts about her ability to manage the group". This link may be helpful to you:
